The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Are you?
Dec08 Filed in: Jesus
If you like your quizzes simple, then you should try out a killer (as in cool) website where they ask one simple question. Are you more Popular than Jesus?
Before diving in to answer this apparently straightforward question, I learnt a bit of background. The findings were quite disturbing.
The Jesus in question is the messiah one. I was upset to learn that it is not a popularity contest with Jesus Jones the pop group. I could have won that one - right here, right now!
The question is based on the macabre premise that John Lennon was assassinated because the Beatles claimed that they were more popular than Jesus. (This is a slightly creative assumption, seeing as the killer himself blamed his actions on the influential book, Catcher in the Rye.) Anyway, let's not spoil the underlying message of this website. If you are more popular than Jesus, you will be taken out!
Google, not God, generates the popularity results. I don't know about you, but I was not happy at the thought of being added to a religious hit list by a quirky algorithm.
It is an irresistible question. You know how it goes. We are all a touch vain.
There's only one way to find out. Putting all my fears aside, I donned a white kevlar gown and bullet-proof halo, cleared all caches on my browser and logged in to compare my Google search results with Jesus' search results. You can see that I breathed a huge sigh of relief, snatching just 0.02% of the popularity ratings from Jesus. I don't think I will be getting a tap on the shoulder and a zealous bullet to the head any time soon.
But do you have the cojones (or the bullet-proof attire) needed to take a test that may reveal to the nutters of the world that you are more popular than Christ? I dare you.
If for some reason you find you are more popular than Lord Jesus, (perhaps your name is Ricky Gervais?) please don't worry about an attack from Lennon's killer. Mark Chapman is behind bars watching a looped version of the film he "stars in" Chapter 27, He is far too consumed by fame to be bothered coming after you. He may have disciples though, so just be careful. You know...it could happen...any time.
On the other hand, if you are amongst the ranks of unpopluar Man, you have nothing to fear. I suggest you chill out with a trip to the Less popular than Jesus tee-shirt store

btw, if you like these so-called pointless sites, check out our buddies at Generator Land. They have funny name generators, and although they won't change your life, they will tickle you for quite a while, especially the Gangsta names.

How to deal with the popularity results
If for some reason you find you are more popular than Lord Jesus, (perhaps your name is Ricky Gervais?) please don't worry about an attack from Lennon's killer. Mark Chapman is behind bars watching a looped version of the film he "stars in" Chapter 27, He is far too consumed by fame to be bothered coming after you.
